:wtf A co-worker of mine rides his CBR1000RR to work every day..and the thing looks like a POS. He told me he has not washed it in over a year and even worse, his front tire looks (well see for yourself). One day I rode in the same direction as him after work, and chain slaps up on down and is louder than his exhaust. The bike as a whole just looks dangerous..:dunno
I've told him for at least 3 weeks "that his front tire is dangerous"..he said yeah I know, need to take it to the shop. How bout that chain think it should be adjusted?, has it ever seen any chain lube? I tols him to bring it over, I have an extra set of swing arm spools and will take care of the chain for him.. Hell.. maybe I'll even wash it for you..But does he show up? ..Nope
Why would I do this? Because I cant stand looking at it!!! :Take some pride in your ride.. (sorry pics are small)

Crazy.

I don't wash mine all that often 'cause I'd rather be out riding it, but things like chain maintenance and other scheduled maintenance as well as other scheduled operating maintenance, I don't fail on that stuff.

I cant believe hes that nonchalant about his tire. :banghead That crap is RIDICULOUS! I was pretty much that way with my car (changed the oil maybe 3 times in the 4 years I owned it) only because i was waiting for it to die so i could have an excuse to get a new bike. I have literally changed my oil more in the past 5 months that I have owned my bike than i ever did on my car. Not to mention i have washed it more too.

you should just put a hole in his front tire. woops, time for a new one. lol and pretty sad he is riding a repsol and doesnt give two shits about a nice bike. unless its a knock off china craptastic kit, which then i understand his not caring attitude.
